FAQs

Are these shoes machine washable?

No, it is not recommended to wash leather trainers in a machine, as it can damage the material and glue.

Is the material real leather?

Yes, these trainers feature a leather upper designed for durability and classic style.

Are these suitable for wide feet?

Yes, the 574 series is built on a wider last compared to many narrow racing models, providing a more accommodating fit.

Can I replace the hook and loop straps?

The straps are integrated into the shoe design and are not designed for user replacement.

Are these unisex?

Troubleshooting

Hook and loop straps are not staying fastened

Clean out any lint, hair, or debris trapped in the hook portion of the fastener using a clean toothbrush or tweezers.

Scuff marks on leather surface

Gently rub the scuffed area with a soft cloth dipped in a small amount of mild soap and water, or use a leather-safe cleaner.

Shoes feel tight after a growth spurt

Since the 574 uses a wider last, ensure the straps are fully loosened when putting the shoe on; if the foot is still compressed, it is time for a larger size.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Because these shoes arrive ready to wear, no technical setup is required. To ensure a proper fit, verify the child's size against the UK sizing chart. For care, keep the leather uppers in good condition by wiping away mud or dust with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid submerging the shoes in water or putting them in a clothes dryer, as excessive heat can damage the leather and the adhesives in the hook and loop fasteners. If the leather begins to look dull, a basic leather conditioner can help maintain suppleness and weather resistance.
